Dez is opening at The Centennial Auditorium in Saskatoon, SK for one of his comedic influences Steven Wright.

"I first saw Steven when I was 14 years old." Dez says, "I actually got it. His joke "I bought powdered water, I don't know what to add." was absolutely brilliant. When I started doing comedy I strove to be as abstract and intelligent. I hope I came close."
